Mason's Pagent - Alarming

Mason had a pagent tonight at his school yet I knew absolutely nothing about it. Was it a play, singing, both? I kept asking Mason and he would say "I don't know". I caught him singing "we are the champions of the world" and so I immediately suspected they were singing Queen for the event although that didn't really fit in with the holidays or religion so when I asked him more about it (the Queen song) he explained Sponge Bob is always singing it. Oh my. Alarming. So, I continued to be clueless about tonight. I certainly didn't dress up or have Mason dress up. That was mistake number one. We were asked to arrive at 6pm but I got there 6pm on the dot and the entire parking lot was full and all the seats were taken. It took me awhile to figure out that I was supposed to bring Mason back stage to rehearse before "it" started. While looking in vain for a seat, I am carrying BT who is too heavy to be carried but to slow to walk when I am in a hurry. We finally scored a decent seat after all and the look on BT's face when he saw his big brother on the stage was priceless. Unfortunately, BT was moaning and pointing to everyone that Mason was on stage. Cute but annoying. Mason chewed on his fingers during the entire thing. His teacher Tammi held his hand, counseled him and generally watched over him like a hawk while the rest of his class behaved really well. So, I can't say it was a success. I can't say I enjoyed it. Fortunately the whole thing was over in 35 minutes for which I am eternally grateful. I showed up in sweats as the boys spilled their lunch all over me and I was just freaken tired after a long but fun day in Spokane. The Mobius science museum for kids rocks and the boys absolutely loved it there. We will definitely go back there. I am thinking I want to buy the yearly membership which is $55 for a family. Really reasonable. So the video and photos are all a bit blury because BT was crawling all over me, pulling on me and otherwise jostling me. Madness. I was the only single parent. Most people had their spouses, friends, grandparents essentially what appeared to be a huge group cheering for their little tyke. It was mayhem. It was merry. And, its over. Yippee.
